Description
Class that can be used to generate sample numbers according to a probability distribution.
Probability distribution is defined with x,y points, at least a dozen of pairs to be more precise in the reconstruction of probability. It uses the "Smirnov transform" (inverse probability integral transform)

Create an object that can be used to generate sample numbers according to a generic probability distribution.
The probability distribution is a curve represented by simplified x,y pairs of points. The integral of the probability curve must be unit, i.e normalized (but if not, a normalization will be enforced) Note: too few points means approximate results, but too many points might give a small performance overhead when calling GetRandom().
